Erk. So Mr. Sandy, who I have yet to meet, is not doing ShadAid any longer? We non-castnet types still need some from time to time. Where the heck can I get some? If I ran out tonight and got a castnet it would be 2010 before I could throw the thing if I am on my normal learning curve...

So who is going to organize Shadapalooza?

Thanks very much Chase. My schedule won't allow it, and I have yet to buy a net, so I will have to pass on that. Appreciated though!!

cmon guys. go with someone and watch them do it. Then practice until you get it down. Chase has made an offer and if i were you I would make the time to at least get the quick lesson if not some bait also.

Start off with a smaller net 3-1/2' to 4' will get you bait right now pretty easy, then work your way to a bigger one.

It's all about time Mr. Simpson. I will eventually get all that stuff taken care of but logistics are tough. Speaking of which, I anxiously await an opportunity to give you money in exchange for sinkers.

(I swear I am going to fall in the lake throwing. I know I will. And the enraged shad will dismember me.)

Definetly get a net and try it, It really is not hard to do, Many deferent methods, I have been catching a lot from the ramps before putting the boat in. Just gotta get the net spinning and the centrifugal force will do the rest.

Warning... Chase throws a good net, but he does all this fancy twistin' and foldin', and weight bitin' prior to throwing. It opens up great, but is a little more advanced way of throwin' a net, IMHO.

I watched several videos on the web then tried each of them. I ended up with a combo from two different throwing styles. Its works most of time. I have notice, bad throws occur when I try to toss it to hard, instead of a steady easy motion.

i don't know that i have ever watched him throw, but sounds like the dry toss method - go to calusa.com and there is a video there. it was designed I think for bigger nets but works great for 6 and 7 footers.

Todd throws his net somewhat like a sidearm baseball pitch. Looks like the easiest way to do it, but I never tried it.
